The Magic of Composting
2025-03-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Discover the sacred art of composting in this unique online class, where we explore the ancient wisdom and magic of transforming waste into nourishment. Learn how composting aligns with the cycles of nature, enhances your connection to the Earth, and supports sustainability in your spiritual practice. Land-loving Ardantane student Charlie Kiene will share his 30+ year journey with composting, with epic fails as well as great successes. With his tips and tricks you’ll uncover how composting can be a powerful tool for healing, renewal, and honoring the natural world. Perfect for Pagans, eco-spiritualists, and anyone looking to deepen their environmental magic.
Charlie Kiene attended the Landscape Architecture graduate program at Louisiana State University and has spent the last 20 years converting an in-town quarter acre lawn into an official wildlife sanctuary. His connection to the land has fed his environmentalism, both of which are supported in the practice of composting. Charlie has a certificate in Magick and Witchcraft from Ardantane.

Dianics - No we are NOT all alike!
2025-04-04 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Dianic Wicca is a unique and highly influential branch of modern Witchcraft that has centered on the worship of the Goddess, particularly in her feminine and earth-based forms. While Dianic Wicca today is often associated with feminist spirituality, goddess worship, and a specifically female-oriented practice of Witchcraft, the history of the term “Dianic” is more complex and has evolved considerably over time.
This session will explore the history and transformation of the term Dianic, how it has been used to define Witchcraft practices, and how it intersects with feminist, environmental, and spiritual movements.

Sacred Truths & Legal Shadows: Protecting Trans Youth in a Shifting World
2025-05-16 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
In a time when transgender youth are increasingly targeted by executive orders, legislative care bans, and public misinformation, we gather to honor truth and sovereignty. Through a pagan lens rooted in respect for identity, sacred autonomy, and community protection, this session will explore the real impacts of current policies, the grey areas in the legal landscape, and the harmful fiction being broadcasted as fact. Together, we will dispel confusion, uphold the sacredness of trans lives, and deepen our understanding of how to stand in both magical and material solidarity. All are welcome who seek clarity, compassion, and courage in the face of rising legal and spiritual threats.

Myths: The Stories of You
2025-06-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
We all read some myths in school–usually Greek stories, about Theseus and the Minotaur or other heroes and gods from long ago. Fun, but what do these ancient tales have to do with modern people living today? What could they possibly mean to me or you?

Everything, as it turns out. The old stories have lasted for thousands of years because they hold truths about humanity; because with allegory and symbol and maybe-fictional characters, they speak to our own lives even today.

Once we understand the language of myth, we can even write our own life stories in mythic form… and use them to light the way forward in our lives. We are all the heroes and heroines of our tales, on our unique quests, battling ogres in different forms, seeking our personal holy grails or the hand of the princess or the path that leads home.

Join Amber K as we explore the world of myth, the stories about you.

Amber is the Executive Director of Ardantane, a Wiccan priestess for over 45 years, and an occasional storyteller.

Enter at Your Own Risk: The Lore and Magick of Doors and Entryways
2025-06-27 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Long ago our ancestors lived in trees or caves, and had no doors. Now they’re everywhere, and surrounded by legends, magick, custom and tradition. They can lock things out, let people in, or offer tantalizing glimpses of unfamiliar cultures and worlds. Let’s look at a selection of doors around the world and glean their messages; and let’s explore their stories and traditions, from Jewish mezuzahs to the Gaelic first-foot to Greek squill onions and Danish dish-throwing. Amber K created this a-door-able program to share with you. Walk right in.

The Broom Closet

Join Rowan and Lora for a discussion of The Broom Closet.
To kick things off, Rowan will share a fun quiz to help you determine if you are in or out of the Broom Closet, and discuss where you want to be on the delicate issue of how, or if, to be a public witch. As with many things in the craft, there is no right answer, only thoughtful alternatives.
It seems to us that in these difficult times, revisiting this topic is more than warranted. Further, if you are already out and can’t get back in, how can you deal with the current climate? Lora and Rowan have ideas, of course, and they’d also like to hear yours.

Refreshing Your Spiritual Life
2025-07-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
What do we do when our religious practices start to feel… meh? How can we keep our feet on our path for the long term, through authentic personal practice and deepening connection with deity?
How do we keep our practice vital and relevant for years and decades? And how do we help those newer to Paganism do the same? We certainly aren’t going to push some “One True Faith,” but there are some things we can each adapt, to revitalize our unique and various spiritual paths. What are the tools we use to keep our practice fresh? And how do we get past crises of faith?

The Bardic Way Part 2: Making It Real...The Bardic Way
2025-07-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Drums beating in the night, calling and responding with exotic and intricate rhythmic phrases…a rowdy group of combat veterans at the table in the corner of the club, drinking and laughing, helping each other remember the worst moments of their lives…robed and hooded figures circling around the fire, chanting and dancing, invoking unfathomable cosmic energies…a mother softly singing to the newborn in her arms in a private language that she makes up in the moment, but that the child has known since before the cord was cut…
These are some of the endlessly diverse ways in which people engage in the same single practice of telling our stories. And stories as we know are the raw materials from which we create, or confound, our shared reality from one brief moment to the next.
In the first part of this series on The Bardic Way, we followed the cultural and historical pathways of the storytellers in many civilizations and historical periods that have shaped traditions, held memories, instilled beliefs, and imagined futures for their societies. And through that common lens of storytelling we identified them all, and by extension ourselves, as true Bards, together dismantling and recreating our worlds with every breath.
In this seminar, we’ll look at many of the Bardic practices that we employ in our circles and rituals and magickal workings, and we’ll examine the idea that, by actively and consciously including these practices in our daily living and personal relationships, we can craft a society that rises above the fractured narratives of our times and tells instead a story of simplicity, empathy, and diversity…of a community traveling together on the path of the Bardic Way.
Braeden C (he, him) has been a practicing Wiccan for 30 years, a Pagan in spirit for twice that, and is a lifelong hand drummer and singer of the stories. He is an initiate in the West Coast Eclectic tradition through the Circle of the Winter Moon and has led numerous ritual circles in the Four Corners community. Braeden also served on the Ardantane board of directors in the early days, and recalls tramping around the local deserts and mountainsides with the founders, looking for a home for this special institution! Braeden has since taken a Master’s degree in Conflict Resolution and traded the beautiful New Mexico desert for the rugged coastline and redwood forests of northern California, where he practices family mediation in the state Superior Court for Humboldt County.
